5.2 Cleaning the grease filters and combi filters
The grease filters must be cleaned at least once a month with normal use or
whenever the button flashes. If cleaned monthly, the service life of the
grease filter is as long as that of the range hood.
The saturation indicator becomes visible when the appliance is in op-
eration or a power level is activated.

Cleaning
▸ Clean the grease filters and combi filters on their own in an upright position
in a dishwasher.
▸ Set the dishwasher to an «intensive» – or «heavy» soiling – wash pro-
gramme.
Cleaning may cause the grease filters to become discoloured. This
will not affect the functioning of the filters in any way.
If no dishwasher is available:
▸ Clean the grease filters and combi filters with hot water and detergent.
▸ Then soak the filters in hot water and detergent in the sink for about 2 hours
and finally clean with a washing-up brush.
Do not damage the metal mesh of the combi filters.
